It’s time we had a MSD thread.

 

[CHUBBSS]

Jai v2 clone pls

 

[TylerDurden]

Best available ruck pls.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Best available ruck pls.

19yr old?

There’s a couple of forwards doing good things in the SANFL.

 

[hawkman]

Need to hide them better this year

 

[Hawthorn23]

I don’t wish injury upon any player on the list, but I hope we end up having two picks again.

Definitely need some ruck insurance, but the first pick ideally should be best available talent

 

[Howe Amazing]

Any more decent players in Poowong?

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

All 5 clubs with picks(currently) are in the top 8. We'd have pick 1 tomorrow if the draft was held.

Expect some LTI additions at some of the lower clubs in the coming weeks to open up spots.

 

[MightyHawks]

How good was accidentally losing some games in the first 10 rounds last year to secure Newk?

 

[TylerDurden]

Reckon most clubs will want a pick.

 

[KermitJagger]

Could this be a prospect we might want a look at for the MSD?

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

I don’t think we’d advertise it if we were keen.

 

[hawkman]

Could this be a prospect we might want a look at for the MSD?

Given that they aren't going to have a Hawthorn ruck drop down for the foreseeable future it is probably more that Box Hill need a ruck instead of using Callow or Kosi

 

[MrPremiership]

Could this be a prospect we might want a look at for the MSD?

Would he be eligible for the MSD?

Did he nominate the last ND?

Would rather we get a young fwd then a ruckman we have 2 already just grab a delisted one in the rookie draft.

I wonder if it was this weekend if we would go the young ruckman or the young fwd from SA. Looking long term what suits the team more.

 

[Pinoy Hawk]

Would he be eligible for the MSD?

Did he nominate the last ND?

Based on the link below, he did not (I can't see his name in the list).
So most likely, not eligible for this year's MSD.

, will give us good intel on his South Adelaide teammates, Mitch O'Neill and Jye Menzie? Both are Tassie lads and both have started season 2022 exceptionally well.

 

[Billyc]

It would be great to get another long termer like Newk but it probably has to be ruck insurance

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

I personally wouldn’t draft a ruck.

There are forwards and mids that the list needs just as much, in the long term, as we need another ruck in the short term, while McEvoy and Reeves aren’t playing.

Because what does our ruck stocks looks like in 8 weeks?
They may all be fit and playing by then, so I would be pissed if we took a string bean ruck to sit behind McEvoy, Reeves and Lynch, when we still have a need to find more goalkicking and midfield class.

If McEvoy is a chance to retire then we would be mad not to consider a ruck. Three is the absolute minimum and I’d suggest we need four if we are intent on playing two rucks in the seniors. A ruck forward would be ideal.

I think we should just take best available. It’s rare for a mid season recruit to make any impact. May as well give ourselves the best chance of finding a winner.

It’s another free hit for us to try and pick up some more talent for the coming years.

Yeah, I want best available, rather than "it must be a ruck".

If this kid at Sandy is both when it gets to our pick, then I'm happy.
